STOCKTON.

The pedigree is sent US of Stockton by
the Peck Horse, or Cottrell Morgan, son
of Black Hawk. This Peck Horse was one
of the best sons of old Black Hawk,
proved such by his stock whilst he staid
in Vermont and afterwards in Pennsyl-
vana and Virginia, where he sired Annie.
dam of Westmont , :l3 3-4, and Bell Nor
gan, sire of Lady Turpin 2:23, etc.
Stockton is owned by DR.. G. w. Ram
sey, Boothsvile, West Va, is rosewood
bay with three white feet, l5-2. and
weighs 1850 lbs. He was bred by Orrn
Wickes of Clarksburgh. His dam, also
bred by Orrin Wickes, was by Green
Mountain Black Hawk, son of Vermont
Black Hawk; &. d. brought from Ken
lucky, and said to be thoroughbred.
We have meyer seen Stockton, but his
breeding is gilt-edged, and we deem he
must be fine horse, an excellent cross
upon the thoroughbred and trotting
blood of the region where he stands.

HIGHLANDER, TOPGALlANT, ExToN
ECLIPSE AND SIR SOLOMON.
In second interview Mr.. John Moore
said:
There was a horse, Highlander, bay
with black list down his back (some-
times Highlanders had zebra marks on
front legs), 1913, big nice horse stood at
Norwich at fathers stables. think 10
studs stood there that year. Father dealt
very largely in horses. There was a
horse towards Whitney Point called Top
gallant, Messenger, a big gray horse,
II or II years old. Messengers were not
more priced than other horses. Exton
Eclipse was also there. They did not
call Sir Solomon Messenger. lie was
to nice a horse for Messenger; an
airy, bang-up horse, very attractive.

OSSIAN.

We see the colt Ossian by Motion adj
vertised in Wallace's Monthly. This
was an extraordinarily good colt when
we sold it two years ago at the Kellogg
sale, and will doubtless make a stallion
of great merit. The dam was very fast
trotting mare bred in Maine that was
said to be by son of Hambletonian, but
we think this was doubtful. She was,
however, coarse enough and high enough
on the rump to be of Messenger origin.
We succeeded in tracing her through
New York city to the dealer who brought
her from Maine, but never succeeded in
finding him. We speak of this because
Ossian was such superb colt when sold
that we think he will yet do credit to the
name he bears.

Horse Department.
PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity of the REGIsTERis
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER Is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree of
the American road horse. As such,t deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in Tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, <. 5. of Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed e. $. of Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is pre-emnently the kind of intorma-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper tor the history of the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to n romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.
Terms, sl.j0 per year. Tell your ncighbors.
Spread the circulation. We want the REGIS
TER to go upon every farm in the country,
from Maine TO California and there are sew
eral it does not yet reach.

ing about the mare, and Mr.. Wray sue
ceeded in finding nothing in the old ac-
count books, but we may dig the matter
up yet, and find of whom Mr.. Norris
bought her. TO look this pedigree right
in the face, there is chance that this
mare was by Abdallah, against an indefin-
tie number of chances that she was not.
An honest record would state that her
pedigree was unknown; it might state
that she was said to be by Abdalah; it
would not state that she was so.

ENGINEER AND GOLDSMITH
MAID

We notice Mr.. Wallace in his last
Monthly repeats his lie about Engineers
being by Messenger, and rolls it around
as though he liked it. We gave especial
attention to this pedigree when on Long
Island, talking with Mr.. Lawrence, the
breeder of Lady Suffolk, now 81 years
DID, and Carl Burr, who formerly owned
Engineer I'd, the sire of Lady SutfOlk,a and
others. Mr.. Burr is a hale old gentleman
of So, and, like his son, and all the fami-
ly, honest as the sun. He says the pedi-
gree of old Engineer was never known.
He talked with the men that brought him
in and stood him on Long Island, and
they admitted that the account they gave
of his being imported by British officer
was made up. Mr.. Burr thought they
had him but one year, and it was his
opinion that they hired him, and returned
him next year to his owners. Mr.. Burr
gave us references to parties in New
York city, and we have secured informa-
ton that we think will enable us yet to
give the true pedigree of this horse.
We also gave much attention to tracing
the dam of Goldsmith Maid, 2l4. This
is another of the fraudulent pedigrees re-
corded in Mr.. Wallace's Register, where
he gives her without qualification as by
Abdallah, though he does not pretend to
know her breeder, and so of course can
not know how she was bred | saw one
of her owners, Manning Verrmeule,
Plainfield, n. j., now 50 years old, who
said that he traded for this mare of Dan
Norris, who kept at the time livery sta
BILE on Houston street, New York; that
Mr.. Norris had her several years, kept
her at first for his own use, and trotted
her some. lie thinks she was about II
years old when he bought her. He says
Mr.. Norris, said she was an Abdallah,
but he never heard who bred her. Mr..
Verrmeule kept her but a few months
and sold her to Mr.. Decker of Decker
town, n. j., who bred Goldsmith Maid
and other colts from her. She was a bay
mare, no white, 1913, fair neck, good nice
smooth-made mare, rather a neat, nice
head, not heavy ear, not a coarse mare
She had bad feet, that is, flat-footed and
quarter cracks. Her name was Ann,
though they called her Alb. to help estab-
lish her pedigree. Mr.. Verrmeule thinks
she could trot in about 3 10. 81 got her
in the fall, sold to Decker next spring
She was bay mare with bob tail, long
switch. | considered her pretty much
used up when got her."
| afterwards saw the son-in-law of Mr.
Norris, Mr.. Wray of the Nassau bank
